Superbowl?

I'm not hosting a Superbowl party...
But if I were, I would serve Super Calzones!

To make them, you will need:
1 c. tomato sauce
1 Tb. Italian seasoning
1 clove garlic or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
6 oz. can sliced olives
2 mushrooms, coarsely chopped
2 c. spinach, finely chopped
1 Tb. nutritional yeast
1/4 c. Bocca crumbles (optional)
1/4 onion, chopped
whole wheat bread dough or tortillas

Assembly:
Mix everything but the dough or tortilla. Set aside. If using dough, roll into several rounds, 1/4" thick and 8" in diameter. Spoon about 1/3 c. filling onto each circle of dough or tortilla. Fold in half. Seal edges of dough by pressing with a fork. Seal tortilla by wetting perimeter of insides and sticking together. Prick to let steam escape. Bake at 400 degrees, 20 minutes for the dough, 5 minutes for the tortilla. Makes 6.

To your health and happiness,
